Savannah Guthrie Isn't Just An Accomplished News Anchor - She's An Author, Too

Savannah Guthrie is an accomplished news anchor who is best known for being the co-host of "Today." Despite working as an anchor on the show since 2012, Guthrie's successful media career is not the only trick up her sleeve. Alongside her television career, the news anchor has also written four books.

Guthrie's works vary between two genres: children's books and religious texts. In 2017, she wrote and published "Princesses Wear Pants." The storybook sets out to teach children that princesses are just as beautiful when they wear trousers instead of dresses. The book, which earned nearly a 4-star rating on Goodreads, delves into the practicality of trousers and the importance of staying true to oneself. The sequel, "Princesses Save the World," was released in 2018. This time, the book focused on friendship, the environment, and, of course, girl power. "My girls loved soaking up all the details on each page," one reviewer wrote.

In 2024, the budding author entered the world of adult literature with "Mostly What God Does: Reflections on Seeking and Finding His Love Everywhere." Through a collection of essays, Guthrie explores changing connections to God and the presence of faith in everyday life. Guthrie returned to children's books in 2025, but with a religious focus. "Mostly What God Does Is Love You" teaches children that God is benevolent. The book garnered a rating of more than four stars on Goodreads, with one reader writing, "[I] feel like this book is such a big hug that makes me smile."

In recent years, Savannah Guthrie's appearances on "Today" have cemented her reputation as a "style queen". The news anchor occasionally appears on screen wearing pantsuits and midi skirts. Over the years, Guthrie has proven that she can pull off an array of patterns, and showcased her taste for high-end fashion, too. In the summer of 2025, the host's wardrobe was so chic that stylist Liz Teich from New York Stylist told the Daily Mail her outfits, "set her apart from the majority of the news world." In 2025, she wore a designer white and blue checkered dress by Sea New York worth $395. That same year, the "Today" anchor donned a yellow floral number by Leo Lin worth a staggering $995. She topped off the look with a pair of black Jimmy Choo platform sandals. The sandals, sold for more than $600, featured stud embellishments.

Amid the ongoing investigation into her mother's reported kidnapping, Guthrie has returned to the Today news desk. Savannah Guthrie sent a strong message with her outfit in return to "Today" when she stepped onto set wearing a yellow midi dress. The gown has been viewed as a symbol of hope in the search for her mother. In February 2026, Guthrie's neighbor told People that yellow is a "sentiment of hope and support after someone goes missing." According to the National Museum of American Diplomacy, yellow became a beacon of hope when bringing home loved ones in 1979 during the Iran hostage crisis, when 52 U.S. officials were held hostage in the country.
